Case Study
Mr. Aditya joined ACB Group as a process designer
Under his tenure there were two strikes – one for 5
weeks and the other for 18 weeks and Mr. Aditya
joined the strikes as a member of the union
Last year Aditya got a promotion at a supervisory level
with a marked monetary increment
During the orientation programme, Aditya was angry at
the management representative
Aditya did not say anything but he felt the speaker was
very ill informed and biased
Later two developments have changed Aditya’s
attitude toward the union-management relations at
the company
Incidents
1)Run in with a union officer who accused Aditya
deliberately harassing one of the workers
2)The other was a result of disciplinary action
Aditya realized that the union went of its way to
embarrass him in both the cases
